The present price (year 0) of kerosene is $4.30per gallon, and its cost is expected to increase by 10%per year. (At the end of year 1, kerosene will cost$4.73 per gallon.) Mr. Garcia uses about 800 gallons of kerosene for space heating during a winterseason. He has an opportunity to buy a storage tankfor $600, and at the end of four years, he can sell thestorage tank for $100. The tank has a capacity to supply four years of Mr. Garcia’s heating needs. So, hecan buy four years’ worth of kerosene at its presentprice ($4.30), or he can invest his money elsewhereat 6% interest. Should he purchase the storage tank?Assume that kerosene purchased on a pay-as-you-gobasis is paid for at the end of the year. (However,kerosene purchased for the storage tank is purchasednow.)
